Bear Lake Township Fire Station Burns Down
Whenever I hear about a fire station burning down, I really feel for the firefighters of that department. Especially if it is a volunteer department that probably has few financial resources.
According to this report from the Traverse City Record Eagle, the Bear Lake township fire station burned down a few days ago. The worst part about it is the fact that a firefighter was seriously injured:
A Bear Lake Township firefighter is in stable but serious condition after he and other members of the department battled an early morning blaze that destroyed their station.Officials said Rolland Sargent, 48, of Kalkaska, is at Hurley Hospital in Flint with burns over 40 percent of his body after he was injured in a fire that gutted the township's fire station on M-72 Thursday morning.
Our prayers are with Firefighter Sargent and our thoughts are with the Bear Lake Township Fire Department.
